I was in the woods and lost sight Okie and her signal. I ended up driving around with the transmitter out the window trying to find her. I eventually returned to where I started and when I got close I got a faint signal. I found her about 50 yards away from where I lost her, on the ground. She had killed a barred owl. I have had hawks kill burrowing owls, but, never a larger owl. She had blood running down her leg from her upper thigh. When I got her home and examined her, she had suffered a puncture would. I suspect it hit a vein, so she had bled out a bit, which is good in terms of infection. I really had to fine tune my Tracker receiver to find her.
